    Another cracker!

    The 1974 sequel to the 1972 orginal, this time you are thrown from one generation to another learning more about the Corleone family.

    The plot follows events in the Godfather's childhood that lead to his rise to power, expertly portrayed by a young Robert De Niro.

    Meanwhile, you will also follow Michael Corleone (played again by a dashing Al Pacino) as he takes over the Godfather's role as head of the family and his struggles to hold onto power and his family as he deals with more mind games and double crossing, even from those closest to him. Who can he trust? The circle seems to get smaller and smaller.

    I think the film is best summed up in one scene, where a troubled Michael turns to his mother and asks if his father ever risked 'losing it' as he strove to keep the family strong. His mother misunderstands what he means by losing 'it' and Michael explains what he means is does he risk losing his family by his very effort to protect them?

    This is a long film - busting at least 3 hours - but it is jam packed with such fine acting, plot and cinematography that you will savour every moment.

    • 24 Jun 2008

    Robert De Niro has refuted suggestions that he is difficult to work with, claiming that the process of filmmaking is tricky enough without adding to it with such behaviour. The legendary star of classics such as Taxi Driver, The Deer Hunter, Godfather II and Goodfellas, says he is easy to work with compared to some working inside the industry. "Difficult? Me? I don't think I am difficult compared to other people. It is hard to make a movie at the best of times, so you don't want to give... Read more
